Mr Ankur Khajuria 2019-01-28 Person 5 5 0

I was admitted to St Thomas for urgent treatment on a badly infected finger. Dr Ankur performed the removal under a local anaesthetic. The process took longer than expected because of the severity of the infection. Throughout the process, Dr Ankur was reassuring and took care to explain what he was doing and the reasons. I received a second treatment the following day in theatre to check and washout the wound - in fact all of the infection had been skillfully removed by Dr Ankur. I was left with a significant wound in my finger, which Dr Ankur judged would likely heal without the need for a skin graft or a flap. In fact, within 4 weeks, it has fully healed and only a small scar remains (which will gradually diminish further). By chance I met Dr Ankur at my last visit for dressing of the wound, and he remembered me and the operation. He was keen to see how it had healed and to know if I had recovered. He was extremely professional throughout the process, took care to explain what he was doing, and has been genuinely interested in my care and recovery.
